"You haven't spent much time with Elves, have you, Alchemist?" Katarina laughed softly. "We have an ingrained dislike for Dwarves... as much if not more than the one they have for us. It is a strange rivalry, one without much actual combat, unless it be verbal."

"But we are not like other Elves," Kale said. "We try to overcome our feelings and find dwarves we can trust. Gerv is not one of them, as we now discover."

"I feel we have stayed too long," Katarina murmured in Kale's ear and he nodded.

"Thank you for setting us straight, Ilenal," he said. "We had best be moving."
